Your bank manager probably doesn't even know how Bitcoin works. He's doing his job and following company policy. The reason people in general don't think of Bitcoin politically is because they don't give bitcoin a second thought. It's just that scam money they see on TV. Before all of my friends started laughing at me for using Bitcoin I was attempting to explain it to them. I would tell them it's electronic money like WoW Gold but for real life. Because my friends aren't 15 or nerds trapped behind a keyboard they all said, "what's WoW Gold". They don't even know what that is. Unfortunately, most people learn about Bitcoin from the news. The news doesn't explain to them what it is and it definitely doesn't teach them about the political ramifications of adopting Bitcoin in the long run. If you want to find out how stupid people are about Bitcoin watch some of the presentations Andreas has given to political figures and listen to the stupid questions they ask. If politicians, who's job it is to know, don't understand Bitcoin do think the average dumbass understands it? Yeah, whatever.
